Tote Bag

I bought the tote for my niece, a student at Columbia. She's always misplacing or forgetting things n I thought this bag might help her out within her chaotic social world. She really likes the bag because of the significance, quality, and where the bag was made (and the women that made the embroidery as well).

Well made, good size

I like the color and size of this bag and it’s well made.
